1 What is the anti-nuclear policy of the New Zealand Government?
The New Zealand anti-nuclear policy is that under the 1987 Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament and Arms Control Act, navel vessels are not admitted into New Zealand waters unless they declare that they are not nuclear-powered or carrying nuclear weapons (“Anti-nuclear policy should have ended with the Cold War”, 2002).

“As long as the anti nuclear legislation remains, New Zealand will not enjoy as full a relationship with the US as do its allies, including Australia” (Espiner, 2002, ¶ 14).
